Strikers

Strikers are the most commonly used weapons in the galaxy. They are similar to guns traditionally used by humans, but they fire plasma bursts instead of bullets. Strikers can be set to several different settings, including "stun" and "kill". A variety of species use strikers, including Psilosians, Ssrisk and Rakorsians. It is assumed that strikers are used by all forms of extraterrestrial life. There seems to be no restriction against carrying a striker in a public area, and it is generally inadvisable to anger a person holding one.
